Patent CA-2524062-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MITCHELL JOAN
IPC: G06Q20/04
Filed: 2004-04-30
Abstract: Systems, methods and program products for automatically generating authenticated electronic receipts at a point-of-sale terminal for both merchants and customers. These electronic receipts can then be used in place of paper receipts for expense accounting, for tax purposes, for routing to accounting and taxation departments, and for real-time analysis of cash-flow and budgeting. The invention prevents loss of paper receipts, always provides a legible receipt, removes employee subjectivity, provides extensive transaction details, removes entry errors, reduces physical storage requirements, promotes continuous expense tracking and eases expense-reporting procedures. In addition, the point-of-sale terminal can integrate the electronic receipt with other available coded data and information about the method of payment such as an image of the check, or the serial number of the paper currency bills used. The other available coded data can make categorization of the data for separation into budget, accounting, or tax categories easier.

IPC: G06F3/0484
Filed: 2005-11-08
Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium are provided for applying a global formatting scheme to a chart in an electronic document. According to a system, a chart application program receives a selection of a chart object in the electronic document and a document theme. The document theme includes a combination of formatting schemes including a color scheme, a font scheme, and a style matrix. The chart application program then automatically applies the selected document theme to the selected chart object in the electronic document. In applying the selected document theme to the selected chart object, the chart application program automatically updates a number of properties of the chart object including color, font, line, effect, and fill. The chart application further enables a user to modify a selected chart style in the document theme by modifying the elements related to the selected chart style and saving the chart type of the selected chart object and the modified chart style as a custom chart template to a file. When a user opens the file, the chart application automatically updates an existing chart template gallery to include the custom chart template.

Title: Power ramp-up in a line-powered network element system
Inventor: PHILLIPS MELVIN RICHARD
IPC: H04M1/00
Filed: 2004-05-26
Abstract: A method of ramping up a power supply that supplies power on a communication medium. The method includes supplying power on the communication medium with the power supply operating at a first set point, determining if an overload condition exists, and, if the overload condition does not exist, signaling a first alarm. If the overload condition exists, power is supplied on the communication medium with the power supply operating at a second set point. It is determined if the overload condition continues to exist while operating the power supply at the second set point. If the overload condition continues to exist while operating the power supply at the second set point, a second alarm is signaled.

Patent CA-2537153-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MARTIN DAVID
IPC: E21B33/12
Filed: 2004-08-26
Abstract: An annular sealing element (12) to seal between metal surfaces for use in flanges, joints, packers and the like, located in oil and gas exploration and production equipment. The sealing element has inner and outer metal deformable surfaces (20, 22) joined at ends (24, 26), defining an interior volume (30) which is entirely filled with a plastic deformable material (28). The surfaces are arranged such that on compression of the element (12) from the ends (24, 26), the element will deform in a controlled manner on a cantilever principle.  The volume of filler (28) and the interior volume (30) remain substantially equal during compression so that delamination does not occur. Thus the sealing element provides a seal combining the flexibility of elastomer seals with the integrity of a metal to metal seal.
